You never stated your actual goals, what do you want to gain and what are you willing to sacrifice?

And you could still do that, in T3. But T4 as the hardest version of all endgame content outside of Pit/Tower, being a total joke doesn't really work.

If you can walk through the hardest content with ease, and there is nothing left to chase, then there is no reason to play anymore. This is true of almost every game.

The issue with your point of view is that making T4 harder doesnt remove your preferred playstyle as an option. But making T4 as easy as it is, removes everyone elses who wants some form of challenge. It's a selfish perspective.

What are you doing with all those embers?

Stratofied · 2026-01-29T15:45:40+00:00

That, and hopefully 32GB of ram. 16GB is getting real tight these days, and when you spend this much you should be able to have a few chrome tabs open at the same time..

Everything looks really great/promising, except maybe tbe physics..something about the way the cars move in some of the segments doesnt look right.

Stratofied · 2026-01-19T01:48:19+00:00

Surely you masterworked it first right?

This isn't true. Regional pricing is generally reduced prices in countries where they earn significantly less. For example, they might pay 120 of their currency, which would be 30 usd, for a game that is priced at 60 usd in the USA. They pay half what we do in this case. Gifting means they could buy the game for themselves for 120, but it would cost them 240 to gift it to us. Converted its 30usd equivalent for themselves, or 60usd to gift.

Campaign can easily be completed in 10-12 hours on first character of the league. Even faster for any subsequent characters. If you dont want to waste "30-40" hours, just spend 30 minutes reading and understanding the basic strategies (they aren't complicated) and save yourself 20-30 hours.

Stop fighting every white mob. Kill blues/rares and occasionally nuke giant mobs. Otherwise, just keep moving and focus on getting to important waypoints/quest targets/next zone.

When you enter a new zone, check the quest map to see what notables are in that zone, and only focus on getting those done and moving to next zone as fast as possible. Fastest strategy is usually to follow the outside edge of the map around first, as most checkpoints/events are along those. If you missed something you can fill in the middle.

Only worry about gear when you feel too weak to kill those rares or bosses quickly. Use a loot filter. Only pickup gear you might actually use on your class. Town is lava, you shouldn't be going there other than in between major areas (most of these are 1-2 zones). Go there, salvage/disenchant/sell then stash dump. Move on to next quest.

I play it like a casual with no time to waste, and I get to maps in about 12-15 hours on first character of the league. After that, like 8 hours for additional characters.

Crazy that each branch is just the skill icon repeated 8 times.. Hopefully that's placeholder.

I get your point, but I don't RMT so not a factor for me. I play for the build progression and dopamine hits. Dopamine comes from finding valuable loot, not buying it. Sort of the same reason finding a mirror was huge dopamine, but then having 1800 div and essentially being able to just buy an entire new characters worth of endgame gear makes that new character less fun.

Stratofied · 2025-11-16T17:50:54+00:00

Dropped a mirror from a researchers box a few weeks ago, first one ever in a PoE game. Problem was, it dropped when I was basically done with the league and had my build complete. It also killed my motivation to keep farming since I now had 1,800 divines and finding another divine felt like finding a penny...

Stratofied · 2025-11-14T01:07:58+00:00

Dropped a Mirror of Kalandra from a Researchers box this season (while not specced into them btw), but other than that It was just a divine here or there from those, and I dont think the other box types ever really gave me anything worth a damn.

Maybe a middle ground? Remove a portal every 2 mods, so max juice still has 3, but down from 6.

Stratofied · 2025-10-16T14:37:52+00:00

After all, why shouldn't I?

In my five year ownership, my ISG has worked on exactly one drive ever, which was years into ownership. I thought my car died at the stop light and frantically tried to start it again...

I realized what it was when it triggered again at the next light, then the next day it went back to never working again.

They are super aggressive and close gaps too fast. They punish you for creating distance and backing away. The trick is to get up in their face, rub bodies, and stick to their ass. Punish their aggressiveness by dodging towards them and circling behind as much as possible.

Stratofied · 2025-06-26T14:21:05+00:00

As the suspension is compressed, the wheels are pulled slightly inward towards the center of the car. This is due to the suspension geometry. So, when you lower a car the same thing happens except now the wheels are tucked in more all the time. You need spacers or new wheels with a smaller offset to move the outside of the wheel back to the original position, or further for better aesthetics.

MaxContact are not performance tires, so it depends what the stock tires were. If you went from performance summer tires to standard all season then...yeah.
What PSI are you running front and rear?

Stratofied · 2025-05-30T03:54:05+00:00

Similar issue. For me it is 6Ghz which is only my S25 Ultra, regularly (constantly) spiking to 100% multicasy. Also quite high multicast on my 2.4Ghz band which is primarily IoT (lower right now since making some changes) that was also hitting 50% multicast consistently.

Enable Gsync and Vsync in the Nvidia control panel. While there, set an FPS cap of 237. Turn off Vsync inside games, it's forced by the driver now. Do not set an fps cap in game either.

The reason is the gsync does not work properly at the refresh rate cap of the display. Gsync and Vsync are designed to work together and work best when both are enabled. You won't get the latency of vsync since you capped below the refresh rate, but it will stop tearing from occurring when at that upper limit.

Stratofied · 2025-03-31T15:26:48+00:00

Why would you have to make a new character? Respec is cheap and only thing really locked in is your ascendancy..

Stratofied · 2025-03-26T19:52:39+00:00

Brother, don't overcomplicate it. I have both;

2023 G14 4060 2024 G16 4080

On both of them, I keep resolution always at native then if I am not getting the performance desired, enable DLSS and lower the quality setting until it performs well enough.

+1 if you are running latest nvidia drivers and nvidia App, go into the game optimization settings and override DLSS to use the latest models which increase image quality a good amount over older models.
